On August 8, 2026, Bitcoin experienced a rare consensus split connected to the controversial BIP-110 soft fork. For a brief period, two versions of the Bitcoin blockchain were being followed by different nodes and miners.
In this video, we break down what caused the split, what BIP-110 is trying to change, why miners disagreed, and what happened to the alternative chain.
The BIP-110 chain managed to mine just two blocks before falling significantly behind the main Bitcoin chain, largely because it had only a tiny share of Bitcoin’s total mining power.
But does this mean Bitcoin is broken?
Did Bitcoin actually fork into two different Bitcoins?
What happens to your BTC during a chain split?
And could something like this happen again?
Watch the video to understand the Bitcoin chain split in simple terms and what it means for the network, miners, users and the future of Bitcoin.
